As part of an effort to deny ISIS the ability to access funds and materials it needs to produce these weapons, the U.S. State Department tagged as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, Marwan Ibrahim Hussayn Tah al-Azawi.At the same time, the Treasury Department attached the same designation to Attallah Salman,better known as Abd Kafi al-Jaburi.Both men were designated under Executive Order 13224, which imposes sanctions on persons who have committed, or are deemed to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism.
